1. Self-Introduction & Statement of Purpose IWAMOTO YOSHIAKI National Institute of Technology, Kumamoto College Dept. of Human-Oriented Information Systems Engineering
2. MY STRENGTH Connecting Different Fields to Create New Solutions I have put this strength into practice through the e-Sports Club that I founded. e-Sports × Agriculture Software × Hardware Japan × Global
3. PILLAR 1 e-Sports Club — 3 Community Events Esports attracts many young people and forms passionate communities. I organized 3 events connecting gaming with solving local issues. Smart Agriculture × e-Sports Matched the skills needed for remote-operated smart farming with the spatial awareness and digital literacy of esports players — proposing a new solution for Japan's aging agricultural workforce.

4. PILLAR 1 Understanding Industry & Gaining Sponsorship Comprehension Responsiveness Understood the structure of the entire industry and Unexpected situations always occur at live events. Made built proposals with stories that resonate with plans through simulations in advance and acted on the companies to gain sponsorship. day. EVENT PHOTOS
5. SKILLS DEVELOPED From Community Leader to Engineer Holistic Perspective Speed to Act Leadership Design projects from a bird's-eye view Immediate decisions onsite Founded club, led crosssector collaboration While engaging in cross-field activities, I also honed my expertise as an engineer.
6. PILLAR 2 Technical Experience & Growth Independent Research International Hackathon Audio effector analysis Competed in global Dormitory laundry app + hardware team environment Long-term Internship Kumamoto Education Week React, Go, MongoDB Community contribution Rapid skill acquisition in team dev through technology
7. TURNING POINT From Software to Semiconductor Singapore Study Abroad (2 months) Machine vision project detecting illegal waste disposal from high-rise apartments SINGAPORE PHOTO Realized: GPU performance directly constrains AI potential Hardware limits define the possibilities of software Semiconductors are the key to solving social problems
8. MY FOUNDATION Communication & Adaptability Cross-Cultural Communication Actively communicated in foreign language environments. Still in contact with colleagues from Singapore. No anxiety about multilingual and multicultural environments. Flexibility Drive Jump into unfamiliar areas Actively seek out opportunities and absorb new knowledge for growth The foundation of my career as an engineer
9. WHY TAIPEI TECH What I Want to Learn 01 Semiconductor Supply Chain The semiconductor industry is built on global collaboration — design, manufacturing, equipment, and materials are spread across different countries. I want to understand the role of each part and how they connect. Building on my software knowledge, I want to become an engineer who can see the whole process — from design to manufacturing and inspection. TSMC NTC hands-on training • Industry internships
10. WHY TAIPEI TECH What I Want to Learn 02 Building Trust Across Cultures Taipei Tech brings together students from all over the world. Spending time with classmates from different cultural backgrounds will build the foundation of communication skills that work in any country's workplace. 03 Breadth Beyond Engineering Through connecting e-sports and agriculture, I learned that technical knowledge alone is not enough to deliver technology to society. I want to expand that perspective through the wide-ranging curriculum at Taipei Tech. International community • Wide-ranging curriculum
11. My Vision An engineer who understands both software and hardware, builds trust across cultures, and connects the semiconductor industries of Taiwan and Japan. IWAMOTO — Kumamoto KOSEN → Taipei Tech Thank you.
